Four Fun Things

Not sure if I should feel proud or embarrassed I got 20/20 on the Paul Rudd quiz XD

Those spooky window eyes are amazing!! Anyone know where they’re from? My (slightly) dilapidated brick tudor is begging for a pair.

OUTGOING SKELETONS haha!

For what it’s worth……Amazon carries a TON of night lights at a very affordable price range ($20 and under). Including a slice of toast, a slice of toast in a toaster, and my personal favorite — a little duck lying on it’s side. We have seven great nieces and nephews (teenage and up) and every year we struggled to give them meaningful gifts. Finally we came up with the idea to make sizable donations (Operation Smile, for instance) in their names. But along with that, we like to give a small, funny “something to open” gift. This year it will be toast and ducks. Hope they’re not reading this!

Whelp, thought I found the perfect xmas present for a friend, but at $100+ I guess not! Ugggh, I see why it’s on Jannelle’s wish list haha. It’s perfect.

For the Marlowe pillow, are you supposed to use it “naked” meaning without a pillowcase? I bought some copper based pillow from BB &B a few years ago for the supposed cooling properties. It worked good but not great. I just wonder how the technical material of cooling pillows is supposed to work if it is covered up by a pillowcase?

4 fun things:
Pam and Tommy – wow, the make up, the prosthetics, the commentary on privacy

Inflatable chicken Halloween costume: my son got one and i think it will go to every wedding chicken dance from here on out

Kids wrestling: its wrestling season and a neighbor invited my 6 year old to join the rec team. Its like human bumper cars to watch a practice

Sonic fresh fruit slush: its all day happy hour if you order on the app right now

I love You Man is one of my favourite movies of all time.

“I will see you there or I will see you on another time”
“That was very confusing I don’t know if you’re going to be there or not”
“No I’l be there”

Paul Rudd is my all time favorite celebrity crush, and I am proud to report that I scored 17/20. I did stare at them for a really really long time, though.

Love these 4 Things as always!
In shades of that funny Grace Farris cartoons a couple weeks back https://cupofjo.com/2022/10/07/pregnancy-pillow/ I have been using a Boppy as my sleeping pillow for over a decade and I can’t see myself ever switching, though we have a rotating cast of other more traditional types and shapes alongside it. I just tuck it into a regular pillowcase, and as a side sleeper I love the height and firmness.

I got a 14/20 for the Paul Rudd test which is not too bad considering we’ve been very happily married for the last 15 years 🥲

We have a Cozy House Luxury pillow and it is quite firm, yet also adjustable, as you can remove some of the memory foam. It’s fairly budget-friendly, too.

My personal favorite pillow is a shredded latex pillow, but I think the Cozy House is more firm for those looking that direction.

YOU GUYSSSSS
For the Paul Rudd quiz, it’s the NOSE! If his nose looks bonier/less full, it’s the older picture. If it’s more “full”, it’s the younger picture. At least that worked for me 15/20 LOLOL
I commend the person who made 20/20 below!!

I have FEELINGS about Halloween decorations (probably because the inflatable Beetlejuice sandworm my friend is currently rocking in Tennessee would definitely not fit on my balcony, and we face the river, so distant booze cruisers would be its only audience if it did). I wandered into Pottery Barn, which for some reason tends to punch way above its weight with spooky-season stuff, and fell for its faux fur spider pillow with gemstone eyes (love a fancy arachnid): “Okay, PB, I’ll bite,” I might have said audibly. “What’ll this cost me?” Friends, it was $100. I nearly started a bar fight in Pottery Barn right then and there (and left the spider behind).

Still muttering, I then went to a Halloween superstore that had sprouted like a mushroom in some second-floor studio. It was leaning hard into nonhuman skeletons, and I also love skeletons, but it has been hard to roll with how anatomically incorrect they’re getting. I thought I’d learned to float all that down the river of Zen, but then I hit my second big outrage of the day: a giant spider skeleton. Not having that is spiders’ WHOLE DEAL!

I moved to the suburbs last year, and while I definitely miss living in the city, our cute neighborhood has decorating contests for both Halloween and Christmas! Some people go all out, and I LOVE IT. I never thought I’d be excited to decorate for Halloween, but I was definitely that person buying 50% off decorations last November 1st and I had so much fun putting them out this year!

I love that meme on the internet that goes ‘Every time I see a picture of Paul Rudd I go and moisturise.’

Has anyone tried the Marlow pillows I’ve got 4 in my cart but was hoping read a few more reader’s reviews before I hit complete order.

The bread lamp is a bit “good for her, not for me”, but really I want to know what Janelle’s husband Max thinks — is this Janelle’s cholo Spongebob? Or is he too a huge fan of illuminated carbs? It makes me smile to think back on that great decorating discussion.

On pillows: I take my husband’s packable down winter jacket and stuff it into a pillow case to use as a pillow when we travel — because the hotel pillows just don’t measure up!

all the hearts for I Love You, Man!

alright, pillows. my husband thinks i’m crazy because i want a pillow that’s firm AF. i realized the reason i always sleep terribly when i’m on vacations is that hotel pillows all seem to dissolve into nothing as soon as you lay your head on them? like, they look so plump and inviting but then even the slightest touch and they compress down to 1/4 thickness. no! i want a pillow that only sliiiightly moves as i lay my head on it. is that too much to ask? has anyone found one like this???

October is the best month everywhere! Those Halloween decorations are so great. When my kids were little we started going on “pajama drives” after dinner/baths in October and December to admire and rank the neighborhood decor. My youngest suggested this year that we leave a candy treat with a note on the front door for the house with the best decor.

My current mattress and pillows are terrible and my entire body hurts. Unfortunately replacing them aren’t a huge financial priority while I’m job hunting but it’s definitely something I will pursue when I can.

Search “Anvo Cervical Pillow for Neck Pain” on Amazon! It’s saving my life. It has a big indent in the middle, for back sleeping, keeping your head nearly flush with the bed. The sides are raised high up for side sleeping, with little cut-outs that cradle your arms. Sounds complicated, works like a charm.

Paul Rudd forever 🤤
